Slayyyter Plans 'Sister Album' Companion Project Rather Than Deluxe Edition

Slayyyter is charting a new course for her next musical release.

The 29-year-old artist, riding high on the viral success of her latest album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, opened up to Rolling Stone about her upcoming plans, explaining that she's moving away from the conventional deluxe edition model.

"I'm working on it a lot and I think I really have loved the idea of trying to capture the same kind of feeling from this music, but from a different perspective," Slayyyter shared when discussing what comes next.

Rather than pursuing remixes or reworked versions, she's conceptualizing the project as a full companion piece. "It's not really a typical deluxe, it's not really remixes. I love the idea of doing the same thing twice. I feel like people hate sequels or have an aversion to making something similar, but…I love this sound. It took me so long to figure out this sound. It took me so long to feel comfortable. I wanna push it further and and make something that almost feels inspired by the album…or like a sister album," she explained.

The approach harkens back to a practice more common in the mid-2000s, when artists would release companion projects featuring entirely new songs that extended the sonic world of their main album without signaling a complete artistic pivot. "I feel like that used to be more popular back in like the mid-'00s where artists would drop a project and then they would have a project that would be brand new songs – not remixes, like brand new music, but it would be kind of like a sister album or like a brother album or whatever…extending the sound in the universe without having to switch to a new era or anything," Slayyyter noted.

She's also reconsidering her relationship with the concept of distinct musical eras. "I'm kind of over like the whole era culture. It's a little bit too much. I wanna live here for a little longer. So I feel like I'm kind of making an inverse album if you will," she added.
